Unexpected Findings

Ah, yet even more revelations from the house. I discoverd that the bit of roofing over the sunroom is different than what's over the main roof. What an unexpected surprise! =D Most roof construction I've witnessed has been sheets of plywood. While the sunroom was getting a roof "makeover" today, I made my way over to watch the workers remove the old shingles (and make a mess of the landscaping below) before the new stuff was hammered on. As it turns out, this section of roof is not plywood after all but rather something like 2"x4"s or beadboard look-alike. It had a gorgeous orange-brown tone to the wood as well! Ah, I should have taken a picture of it.

I also learned today whilst feeding the workers fast food that Burger King's medium-sized fries is not what I recall as being "medium-sized." I haven't stepped in to a fast food joint in years so clearly, I am behind the curve. It appears to me that what was once "small" is now called "medium" and so forth up the size chain. It's just like women's clothes! However, in the case of clothing, it's a marketing gimmick to make them feel slimmer. In this case, it's about making money without trying to make you look thin. ;D Ha! I wonder if tuna cans will ever fall below 6 oz so that they don't have to "raise" prices. Phah! Such practices really screws you up when your recipe lists an ingredient as "x can(s) of y" without indicating the volume/mass of that unit.
